Hi there.

Sorry if I repeat this post, I have been reading a lot of post about this or similar but no one helped me.

Im trying to send an email when I add a new content where I reference a determined user, to notificate him there are a new element for him.

I have "references" module ofr "User references", I use Rules module too.

But I have no way for it works. If I put an email en the field "value" its work, but I want send an email to the user referenced when I create the new content.

Help, please.

hi tinerfe,
First in actions create a new action fetch entity by id. Then select user and put node:field-user:uid in data selector. Now add send mail action and in 'to' you can put fetch entity properties for mail it would be like this [entity-fetched:mail] .

I cannot put node:field-user:uid, In my content there are no user field, there are a "user reference" field, but anywise, it doesn't appear too.

Maybe is better reference users in the content using other type of field?

iirc, you have to add a condition for 'entity has field' and specify your reference field before you can use it in actions.

but I cannot, there aren't any entity to select the user reference.

For example: Node:to_person

for reference the field of the user referenced in the content.
